I know this is an oldish post, but I agree, Basingstoke signal has got really poor.
Yes, the bars don't really show the correct signal strength, but you can check the signal strength on the phone.
I have 3 phones in the house on EE, and all show around -100dB, which is very poor. If I go to Basingstoke Garden Center on the A30, signal improves significantly, around -80dB.
Also getting Jitter on EE signal, which is not good caused by poor signal, intern causing delays in streaming and voice calls.
I've been with EE before it was EE, before it was T-Mobile, when it was One2One, and this is the worst I've come across for signal.
They need to do something or I'm off.

Rather than adding to an old post, just start a new one! I've moved yours to a new thread.
The on-screen bars are a rough indication of signal strength, -100dbM is not "very poor". It's on the lower end for sure, but perfectly usable on most phones. "Very poor" would be below -110dBM or so, in radio engineering terms.
Can you elaborate on what you mean by jitter & delay on voice calls?
